Livery manager questions..

Featured Replies

the initial post on it says only to download the ptp files to a directory, but it doesnt say which directory, and there doesnt appear to be a manual to refer too.. Could you please tell me where i should put the ptp file for the LM to access it please??ThanksPam,

The livery manager is covered in the PMDG Introduction document. That said, just place the files wherever you want, they don't have to be in a specific directory.

Put them anywhere then select the area you unzip to. Also now that the post is up, Im seeing a problem with the manager. I have installed liveries for the -900WL model and they do not show installed in the manager, however they are installed...so says the manager.

Yeah i have this problem to i have read the instructions on how to obtain a livery but when i press the select livery it does nothing :(

Pick an aircraft variant first, then click on "Select Livery to Install". If you don't pick a variant, the button doesn't do anything.

me too

Does not work except for the standard pmdg house livery

I have only noticed this on the -900WL model...i will check the others, there is a total of 50 liveries in all and are as follows: -800:5 -800WL:40 -900:1 -900WL:4 Correct me if i am wrong but i downloaded all the liveries and separated. So this should be the right count i will confirm what the manager counts. It will be a few minutes.

I'm not sure what you mean about the house livery? Pick "800NGX" in the left pane, then click "Select Livery to Install". A new window opens up, and you should navigate to the folder that contains the .ptp file(s). There is an issue with the 900 paints, and it has been reported.

I mean the pmdg livery. When I do what you say and i select livery to install, I get a box saying that it is read-only, would you like to remove read-only. No liveries appear in the box, nor a new screen.

Edited... I'm not sure what the issue is then, Martin. So as soon as you press the "Select Livery to Install" button, you get an error? You never see a new window where you can choose the folder containing the repaints?

right i open up the livery manager then select the 800ngxwl because i want to install the ryanair paint it goes bing then read only appears

Just click on "Yes" if you get the read only error. Works fine. Gave me a headache at first as well.

"The aircraft G-limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular airplane. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no G-limits."

lol ok thank you

Just click on "Yes" if you get the read only error. Works fine. Gave me a headache at first as well.

I have found them! There is suppose to be 1 livery for -900 There are 4 liveries. These are the counts i see. -8006 -800WL:38 -900:4 -900WL:0 These counts do not inlcude the In-House liveries. Files are redirected to the wrong models. As long as Southwest is not affected, I'm happy. This is just a minor issue I found.
